Visitors planning a trip to the Oklahoma State Park system can now book cabins, cottages and lodge rooms online at www.OklahomaParks.com. The Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department recently unveiled the Cabin and Lodge Online Reservation System that will allow park visitors to book rooms up to 11 months in advance.

OTRD officials believe this service will offer visitors more ease and convenience when it comes to their park stay. "The online reservation system is another service we are proud to offer to our park visitors," said Hardy Watkins, Executive Director of OTRD. "This feature will allow visitors to book a room at any time, and not just during normal business hours."

The reservation system features cabins, cottages and lodge rooms at the following state parks:

The Web site shows multiple views of each facility, and allows you to select a specific cabin or room. As people look at planning vacations for the summer or into the fall, the new system allows them to check options in one location.

"Our cabins and lodge rooms are extremely popular on the weekends and during the summer travel season," said Watkins. "The online reservation system gives visitors an opportunity to view the availability of lodging options as they plan getaways."

In addition to booking rooms online, visitors still have the option of calling (800) 654-8240 to make room reservations.
